Function To Work For Barcodes Of Varying Lengths?

Aug 4, 2014

Goal: To extract the barcode (numbers and letters between B/C: and , P/G) from the following string:

"Codec B/C: A01234567, P/G: 123456728912345"
Current Function: =MID(A1,(FIND("B/C:",A1)+5),(FIND("P/G:",A1)-14))

Problem: I need this function to work for barcodes of varying lengths. For example, in some cases the barcode may be 8 characters long and at other times the barcode will be 14 characters long etc.Below is a screenshot of how I have this currently set up in excel.

Varying Lengths Of Digits

Jan 16, 2006

My data is as follows, all in one cell:

10015200 US Government Bonds 18,369,423.52
10012301 US Government Bonds 10,232.21

There are many varying lengths of digits. I am trying split off the numbers
to the right of US Government Bonds into another column. Here is my
formula:
=RIGHT(A7,IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ",A7)),LEN(A7),FIND(" ",A7)))

My result is 9,423.52. Its not pulling the whole number.

What do I need to change in the formula?

Sorting Numbers Of Varying Lengths

Aug 15, 2012

I am trying to do a VLOOKUP using a list based on our Part numbers in Excel 2007. When I do a normal sort it groups the numbers 1 thru 9 by the number of digits, giving me multiple list of 1 thru 9. When I do my lookup it will not find the shorter numbers. Is there some way to sort these Part numbers in order regardless of the number of digits?

Extract Varying Lengths Of Text

Jul 9, 2007

I have a column of data that contains suburb, state and postcode (zip code). I can extract the postcode quite easily using:

=RIGHT(H2,4)
However, sometimes there is one word for the suburb, and other times there are two or more words. Also, the state abbreviation contains either two or three letters:
MARYBOROUGH QLD 4650
BRAY PARK QLD 4500
TEA TREE GULLY SA 5091
Does anyone know of any code I could use to extract the three pieces of information into three new columns? (I.e. Suburb, State, Postcode)

I imagine the formula would contain some method of counting the number of paces; however, the number of spaces between each word may be more than one space.

Macro For Rows Of Varying Lengths

Jul 13, 2007

I paste in information in Columns A-E with varying lengths for each report that I need to generate (They generally range anywhere from 10-500 rows). I have formulas already in place in the first row of Columns F-L that need to be copied down as far as columns A-E go. I recorded a macro for this when I try to run the macro for another report with more or less row entries it copies down as far as the original recording was set. How do I make it so the rows will copy down just as many as I need and not some arbitrary number of rows? This is my first post so if any clarification is needed that's no problem.

Extracting Substring Text Of Varying Lengths

Dec 6, 2013

I have figured out certain formulas that can get me pieces of the text substring, I am having difficulty finding an all in one solution that will allow me to run a macro and automate this process due to the nature of variability of the # of characters in the text string. The category and what I need to extract is as follows (Michigan Missing Zips roll up I can deal with):

MWR - Illinois - HORIZONTAL LATHES
MWR - Illinois

MWR - Illinois - MACHINING CENTERS - HORIZONTAL & OTHER
MWR - Illinois

MWR - Illinois - MACHINING CENTERS - VERTICAL
MWR - Illinois

Copying Contents Of Columns Of Varying Lengths

Feb 7, 2007

I export data from another programme into excel and I wish to write a macro to copy the contents of columns G, H, I and J and paste it into columns A, B, C, D but starting at row 4. I then carry out various formatting tasks. I have written a macro that works for the copy and paste and the formatting but it only works when the data is the same length. The length of the data exported varies each time and so I am looking for some code that stops at a blank cell and copies the range above. I believe this uses xlup or xldown.

Macro To Sum Or Subtotal Ranges Of Varying Lengths In A Column

May 1, 2014

I've reached a point in this macro where I'm stuck with NO clue how to achieve this, or even whether it can be done. In the Before sheet below, I need to bold the cells in H & I if the word "Total" is in G. I could probably manage that part, but here's the weird part: I need to add a formula to H & I of each row with "Total" in G to sum the numbers above it, from the previous total down to the current total. But there's no telling how long each range might be on a given report; from 1 row up to 8 rows.

THEN, in the second row below the end of columns H & I, I need to put a formula totalling all of the preceding Totals

I wonder if there might be a way to tell it to put a formula in H by each cell that has "Total" in G, with the formula summing or subtotalling everything from the cell in H that has data in F to the cell just above the "Total".

Flexibility- Allowing My Macro To Run In A More Global Environment With Varying Data-set Lengths

Aug 27, 2008

I'm having difficulty allowing my macro to run in a more global environment with varying data-set lengths.

For example:

Though the following "copy" scenario works for me when my data set is contained within cells B2:B35:
Range("A2:A35").Select
Selection.Copy

It does not allow me to work with a set of data that extends beyond this--say to B50 or B60. Is there any way to allow this command, and others, to be a bit more flexible with my data set lengths?

Extending Range Function To Account For Different Row Lengths?

Apr 25, 2014

VB recorder in Excel. The macro is designed to process a spreadsheet that will have the same number of columns and same type of data in each column, process this data with a formula (hat tip: AlKey+XOR LX) and then clean up the columns ready for use in another program.

I have got it working but when I alter the row length the macro only works to the final row in the recording spreadsheet. I realize this is because when recorded the macro I told VB to set the range to a given row.

I remember there is a way of setting the Range function that tells VB to always go to the bottom of the rows filled with data but I can't find it for the life of me.

see the attached file the training spreadsheet.

Varying Validation Drop-downs Based On Varying Cell Values

Aug 7, 2013

I am attempting to have cells in Column 'U' deliver different drop-down menus based on the corresponding value in column 'D'. I have created 7 named lists:

List_117G
List_152
List_JMET
List_XBAND
List_PACWIND
List_VORTEX
List_ROVER

Those lists will be called up based on 7 values in column “D”:
“G”
“152”
“J”
“X”
“D/E”
“V”
“R”

So far I have only been able to get this to work for the first category “G”. When I change the value of column “D” from “G” to “152” I no longer get a drop-down. Here is the formula I am using in the List function of validation.

=IF(D6="G",List_117G,IF(D6="152",List_152,IF(D6="J",List_JMET,IF(D6="X",List_XBAND,
IF(D6="D/E",List_PACWIND,IF(D6="V",List_VORTEX,IF(D6="R",List_ROVER,)))))))

How To Build Countifs Function With Varying Weekdays In Different Months

Aug 13, 2013

I have a file with 3 sheets with Sales data. First sheet is for capturing Sales data, second sheet, with some Weekly Analysis and Monthly Analysis using COUNTIFS, third is charts based on second sheet's formulas.

When I use COUNTIFS function to capture the monthly sales nos, the working days in different months vary from each, obviously. Some months have 20 days, some with 21 days, some with 22/23 days. How to write a correct code for varying working days, because I have to capture only the working days in a month, and in THAT MONTH only, leaving all Sat days and Sun days?

My formula goes like this in cell E3 and I have attached my sample file as well.

=COUNTIFS(Master!$B$2:$B$5000,">="&$D$2-30,Master!$B$2:$B$5000,
"<="&$D$2,Master!$C$2:$C$5000,"="&$D3)

eg: If I want to measure Monthly Sales performance for a salesman, Date of Sales Performance measure will be done on the last WorkingDay/WeekDay of that month, in the month Sep-2013, Performance will be taken on 30-Sep-2013, till the 21 weekdays backwards. i.e. 02-Sep-2013. In the month of Aug or Feb the no of weekdays differs.

Combine Rows Of Varying Length And Varying Number Of Occurrences

Jun 28, 2012

There are 11,000 rows and 4,000 are unique. The goal is to merge the data down to the 4,000 records. Each of the unique entries shows up 1 to 15 times.

In trying to solve this, I wonder if I should break this down into the different # of occurances and implement specific solutions. e.g., There are

5700 entries that show up 2x
504 that show up 3x
24 that show up 12x

VBA - Call Macros With Varying Names And On Varying Modules

Oct 2, 2013

I want to call a macro with a varying name that is within a module with the same name.

I have a module called Test1 and within this, a macro name called test1
I have a module called Test2 and within this, a macro name called test2
etc

On another module called Test8 (with the macro called Test8), this Test8 macro will call either Test1 or Test2 or Test3 etc depending on what I choose in an excel spreadsheet. So on sheet1, cell A1, there is a drop down with the options Test1 or Test2 or Test3 etc.

The following works to run the macro test1 from module test1 (when it does not vary i.e. i physically put in the name of the macro myself):

Sub Test3()
Test1.Test1
End Sub

The following works to run the macro test2 from module test2 (when it does not vary i.e. i physically put in the name of the macro myself):

Sub Test3()
Test2.Test2
End Sub
etc

However, if I try it so that the calling of the macro varies as below , it does not work:

Sub Test3()
MacroToCall = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
MacroToCall.MacroToCall
End Sub

Scanning Barcodes Into Excel - Macros

Sep 5, 2013

I am working for a small job shop company that is producing many bespoke products and recently the company has grown up a bit and a shop floor data collection is required in order to have a control over the production process. The company has 14 machines which are operated by 7 operators and this means that each operator is running 2-3 machines at the same time. The best solution for data collection is barcoding into excel. However i need 3 macros (I think) in order to meet my needs. Those macros need to:

1) show what is currently on the machines (who is doing what and when the particular job has started)
Machine
Operator
Part No
Description
Clock In

Note: Description will not be scanned, this can be filled in based on the vlookup from the waiting parts list

2)show what have been done (who did what, on which machine and clock in/out times). Here it is important to mention that sometimes jobs are stopped and taken off the machine and they are put on the machine later on. Sometimes it will be different machine or operator etc)

Part No
Description
Machine
Operator
Clock In
Clock Out
Machine
Operator
Clock In
Clock Out
Machine
Operator
Clock In
Clock Out

3)show what is remaining to machine.

While searching for a solution I have found here a really nice topic which seems to be a good foundation for my needs Scan barcode to excel with date & time stamp in & out.

Work Around To The 7 Function Limit With The IF Function

Nov 11, 2008

I'm comfortable with the IF statements in excel and not familir with many of the other functions available to me. I am trying to create a character calulator for Elder Scrolls III (Marrowind). So that a person may enter their race, ***, and other choices and their by calculating all starting stats. There are 10 races you can choose from and I can cover 9 of them with the if function (leaving one as if all other options are false). I would like to know if there is a better way such as a drop down list or some way to search an array or anything that would be better suited to search the race cell and return data if it's true. I'm running into the same probably with choosing the constalation (13 choices in this catagory).

I thought to split it two different data fields, by letting you choose from 4 in one cell and the other 9 in a different cell, but realized I don't know how to make it check two different cells for a choice to return it to the display cell without hitting the limitation of the 7 nested funcations in a forumla again.

Mode Function For Each Work Type

Sep 14, 2009

Im using excel 2003 and I need help with the MODE function. I have a spreadsheet with 142 work types rows of work with each one showing the last 13 months of work received. I have set up a mode function for each work type, but for the ones when excel cannot work out the mode it puts n/a in and I have to do them manually, by looking at the last 13 months data and basically guessing a mode figure which is a pain (e.g. if there was 13 different numbers from say 120 135 excel would give n/a but I would put the mode at around 128. As this spreadsheet gets updated monthly is there a way I can trick excel into giving a mode figure, or a figure close to what the mode should be. I have attached a sample of the spreadsheet.

Work Marked Late -Either VBA Or Worsheet Function

Dec 30, 2006

I have a very large spreadsheet with the following columns: WO# (number field); Start date (date format MM/DD/YYYY); Frequency (text); and craft (number). I am trying to have code that checks the frequency and if is "Monthly" or "Weekly" it just goes on to the next row; if it is "Annual", it adds 163 to the start date (start date needs to changed to a numeric field); if it is "Semi-annual", it adds 82 to the start date; if it is "Quarterly", it adds 45 to the start date; and so on, there about 20m different frequencies. After it adds the above value to the start date, I need to check if that number is less than today's date (the day I run the code). If it is, it needs to flagged as "LATE" and the whole row of info copied to another worksheet with LATE as the title and all the column headings and info copied to the worksheet. I hope this makes sense to someone because I am a beginner in Excel and even less informed when it comes to VBA. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The way the process must work is that I need to check the frequency and if it is "Weekly" or "Monthly" , it is ignored and goes on to the next row. All other frequencies are cut in half, i.e., "Annual" is 183 days, "Semi-annual is 92 days", "Quarterly" is 45 days, "2-Year" is 365 days, and so on. This number needs to added to the scheduled start date (now formatted as a number, not a date, and checked to see if it is smaller than today's date (also a number). If it is, it is reported on the second worksheet (titled Late).

Function Works In VBA But Does Not Work Inside Worksheets

Jun 21, 2008

i have written a code in VBA to interpolate the value of Y0 corresponding to X0 using a set of (X,Y) points. (I have written this in module1) . This function works when i call it through a Sub or another Function in VBA. but it does not work when I try to use it as a function in my excel worksheets (when I type : =interpolate(A1:A10,B1:B10,30) .... 30 is an arbitrary value). in this case I get #value! error

The function is known in within the worksheets because when I start typing its name, the Auto Name Complete feature of excel, finds this function.

I am new to VAB for excel. Please give me a hint to see my mistakes of if something is missing inside my code.
